Koch Brothers Exposed is a hard-hitting investigation of the 1% at its very worst. This full-length documentary film on Charles and David Koch—two of the world’s richest and most powerful men—is the latest from acclaimed director Robert Greenwald (Wal-Mart: the High Cost of Low Price, Outfoxed, Rethink Afghanistan). The billionaire brothers bankroll a vast network of organizations that work to undermine the interests of the 99% on issues ranging from Social Security to the environment to civil rights. This film uncovers the Kochs’ corruption—and points the way to how Americans can reclaim their democracy.

DFA Campaign Academy-for Candidates & Staff

DFA Editor — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 20:23:05 +0000

The DFA Campaign Academy mission is to focus, network, and train grassroots activists in the skills and strategies to take back our country, manage successful campaigns or run for office themselves.

Our Campaign Academy weekends are 16 hours of interactive workshops that bring hundreds of local activists, campaign staff and candidates together for 2 days of intensive campaign training. Experienced campaign professionals lead sessions in voter contact, fundraising, communications, on-line organizing and much more to empower progressive activists with the skills to win in November and beyond. Attendees also meet with dozens of local progressive candidates and learn about exciting job and volunteer opportunities in their area. And of course, everyone receives their own copy of DFA’s 180-page Campaign Training Manual.

Year after year, the DFA Campaign Academy is building a grassroots infrastructure of skilled progressive activists in all 50 states.

The Phoenix Campaign Academy will be held on March 24th and 25th at
United Food & Commercial Workers Hall (Local 99)
2401 North Central Avenue
Phoenix AZ 85004

To learn more about the training and/or to register click here.

The cost for the two-day event is $70 ($35 for students or low income). This includes two lunches and the DFA training manual.

A Great Day at ‘Occupy Phoenix’

DFA Editor — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 23:02:33 +0000

The only thing wrong during the day on Saturday, October 15th was that it was HOT! Otherwise it was great – the crowds were large but orderly, the speakers were good and the signs were great. The only problem was in the evening at Margaret Hance Park when the protesters were forced to move with some being arrested by the Phoenix Police.

If you are available to join an action, there will be a rally at Sky Harbor Airport on MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2011 from 3:00 to 4:00pm to support GCA Airport Custodial Workers. These workers have been fighting for justice at the Phoenix Airport for over a year, these jobs were outsourced by the City of Phoenix.
